How do you feel about Russian Fede- VP's current form based on the intense CB match and the SK vs VP pride match?
Denmark MYM|Maelk: " As ever, I find both our teams to be equally strong and the turn out of the game pretty much relies on who is better on the day, the picks and the marginal fights in the lanes. Whoever gets the better start will most likely win the game. "
We've been informed that you wont be playing tonight is that correct? And how is this going to effect the outcome of the game?
Denmark MYM|Maelk: " Due to our trip to Chicago in the Christmas Holidays I have been forced to prepone family matters, so unfortunately this weekend was already booked up with such. I have trust in my team and they have earlier proven to be able to cope perfectly fine without me. It is, however, unfortunate as the games against VP is always the most exciting and intense and I hate the thought of not being able to play. "
In one of the games you recently won vs VP you didn’t play either, was this a conscious decision on your part?
Denmark MYM|Maelk: " No, it was again a forced absence on my behalf. I was there for the picks, but wasn't able to play the first of our games. I came back just in time for the picks for the second, as MaNia called and told me that they were victorious in the first but that Slahser would have to go. For the most part I would like to think that our team doesn’t rely on any one player and that no matter who we use, we will be equally strong. However, I think everyone in MYM can agree that we would prefer playing with me in the lineup since I seem to play an important role as the captain, but I think its a matter of training and experience. Ideally we could use any 5 of our players. "
Do you have set strats or how do you come around this problem when you aren't there to discuss the picks with the team?
Denmark MYM|Maelk: " Today, as for any other day where I am not present, I will most likely be on the phone with MaNia and help out with the picks. Often a game can be decided on the picks alone, so it is absolutely necessary that we get the best lineup possible - Especially against Russian Fede- Virtus Pro. "
We are still trying to get a statement from Russian Fede- Virtus Pro.
